Do you want to create/access a LiftSession from outside a Lift-handed request, but make sure the same LiftSession is available when you access the Lift parts of your app? (sorry, I want to make sure I understand the problem)
Right now, there's no good way to do that... sorry :-( Feel encouraged to open a ticket on it at https://liftweb.assembla.com/spaces/liftweb/tickets It'd be ideal if you could include a test application so we could verify it was doing the right thing.
